That ol' Double Dog strikes again!

hey, not really supposed to be ouchy. I'm doing these now, too. And you don't have to really take the dare, but I find the concept of the morning pages to be interesting. Sorry about the slow file. Let me see if I can find something else for you . . .

here's something else on it (hope this works better): http://paperartstudio.tripod.com/artistsway/id3.html

I'm sure you can pick up a copy of The Artist's Way at the library, if you are interested. She says they are supposed to be 81/2 x 11 pages. They're supposed to be handwritten, not typed, because there's not supposed to be any editing or self-censoring. But I've tried them typed, just keeping my eyes closed, and it works pretty well for me. My hands tend to go numb, particularly in the morning, if I hand-write too long.

It's a great dare for me because it means something. I was just being lazy about the time commitment (compared to something like scratching your bum!) I did it this morning, and it cleared my head for the day - I felt really productive (then again HM was out and I usually get more done then too).

I checked t'internet and the pad I'm using is comparable - Letter size is slightly wider and shorter than A4. It took me 40 mins handwriting this morning - I'm going to do it for at least a week.

Hey Cloud....I can't believe you just did that! lol!!!


If you are all about writing take a look at what the writers did about humiliation. It's a part of the art.

I'm incredibly gratified that you're actually trying it, SG! Thanks for taking the dare, and I hope it works out for you.

Cloud is right...morning pages are an incredibly useful tool. I am using them, also. SG, if you are in interested in the Artists Way, I will send you a copy of the book. It can be transforming if taken seriously.

Oh yes please!
I will check at the library as well though
